• Cookie cutter new layer image disappears

  I have a graphic background. To that I added a few rectangles in laters separate, then the text in several layers, who went on the rectangles. Subsequently, I wanted a form of arrow. Pretty easy.

  Click on NEW LAYER

  Cookie cutters

  Select the type of arrow

  Drag it in good shape

  Click the green checkmark to ok.

  WHAMO, it disappears, both the page and the layers palette.

  The punch is not to create shapes, is a crop tool. Using the tool in line with the arrow option or a deflection of the tool form personalized.

• Monitor another layer for the events to change an effect

  Is it possible for an effect to listen an another layer change event and then react to this?

  Here's the situation: I have a plugin that has a setting of layer. This layer parameter points to a text layer. Now, I would have the effect to respond to a user who changes the contents of a text layer (TextDocument object). I guess I could somehow store the State of the layer and compare permanently for changes, but I feel in response to an event would be far better - if it is possible.

  Thank you

  you do not receive a call from rendering when the text layer changes?

  in all cases, you can create an invisible param with an expression on the subject

  that links to the source on the text layer param. you change the

  Settings when the text is changed and will trigger a new rendering.

• Adjustment layer does not (has no effect)

  I'm having a problem with adjustment layers... Here's what works:

  -I can add an effect (blur) to a normal layer, and I see what he does in the preview window of model and when I made the film.

  What does not work:

  -J' I add an adjustment above all in the timeline layer, add an effect (blur) to this layer, but then nothing happens that neither in the layout preview window or the final rendered!

  I tried to move layers autour, allowing everything concerning the effects and which have not yet managed to get this working.

  After Effects 6.5 (old, I know... but it works exactly like the CS3 and others and takes only 150 MB of disk space.)

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!!

  Wow, this screenshot takes me way back.  Interesting to see that you are using the app in its old form.  I noticed OpenGL has been activated and restore thinking that could be the culprit, but the problem is ancient on the final, I doubt that this has nothing to do with it.  Although, in your render settings, if OpenGL is enabled, it might be the problem.  Have you tried to disable the OpenGL setting for your comp window?  It's a long shot, but thought I'd throw that out there...

• How to disable the effects in the layer?

  Hi all!

  How to disable the effects of script in the layer? For example, a stroke.

  By completeness, if you require permanently delete the layer effects:

   // Effects among:
  
  //  "bevelEmboss"   (Bevel and Emboss)
  //  "frameFX"       (Stroke)
  //  "innerShadow"   (Inner Shadow)
  //  "innerGlow"     (Inner Glow)
  //  "chromeFX"      (Satin)
  //  "solidFill"     (Color Overlay)
  //  "gradientFill"  (Gradient Overlay)
  //  "patternFill"   (Pattern Overlay)
  //  "outerGlow"     (Outer Glow)
  //  "dropShadow"    (Drop Shadow)

• Filter effect and layer the layer in the same Style vs the separate layers

  I set a photographic image and uses both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer to a smart object.  I want to separate the two effects in two layers, one layer has the effect of filter (Nik) and a layer is the layer style (Chromakey) (in order to merge/pixelation unmerged Nik filter effect with the smart object but keeping the layer style).  I can make two layers and move an effect without problem, but the Visual result of each effect on a separate layer is very different for these two effects in the same layer.   For all my layers blending Mode is Normal.  In the color overlay Panel, the blending mode is linear burn.

  I don't understand why the Visual result is different.  I'm not an advanced user of Photoshop, so maybe I'm missing something.  It is a trial of CS6 I use.

  Layer 1: layer style and a filter effect, stacked

  looks very different from...

  Layer 2: a layer style

  Layer 1: a filter effect

  If you want two separate layers, and then click the layer duplicated with the color overlay layer style you can try different layers, blend modes.

  For example, below is looking the same the Chromakey with linear burn on the second layer and change the blending mode of layers in Hue.

  

  You can also put the layer in a group and apply the layer for the group style.

• How to keep the effects of layer on layer doesn't affect another layer?

  Hello:

  I am quite new to Ps and although I read as much as possible I could use a little more help.

  I found that when I use the layer on Layer Styles and then do a new layer or select a form that creates a new layer that when I go to add Styles to the new layer/new layer the previous is affected by how I put the bevel & Emboss, Direction, Altitude, Drop Shadow etc etc.

  For example, let's say I have a...

  BG > new layer > draw an ellipse, then add a bevel with a > Angle of 89 and at an Altitude of 30 and then I add a new layer > open Styles and go into the corner to say + 89 or whatever change and the Altitude to say 45... change the first layer/shape effects.

  Can someone tell me how I can keep a layer of affected by an another layer effects?

  I found that if I rasterize a layer in fact that I can add an effect 'double' on the same layer, but I have not tried doing this with separate layers. However, for the bulk of the work I do, I can't use the Raster because everything has to be real vectors.

  I'd definitely and really appreciate ideas/advice that anyone can have. If you need more information about me or a better explanation, I'll try to explain better.

  I have a laptop Dell / Windows 7 Home Premium, which is a 64-bit

  Thanks in advance for your time

• Project overview shows the black screen and it makes perfectly like black video, but the comp. Overview displays the entire video and effects

  

  I feel that I'm missing probably something obvious. I have a MP4 video I imported into After Effects and then used the tool to paint on top of for a kind of Rotoscoping. I can get a preview of the video with effects perfectly in the composition/layer window, but either the video or the effects will be never seen in small project window in the upper left corner of the screen. When I visited the composition, it comes out completely black, just like in the preview of the project. What should I do to fix this?

  Thank you!

  You set the only layer in your composition to a guide layer. If you don't know how that enable or disable him layer 'guide' in the search help field at the top right of the app and read.

• How can I copy and paste a * UNIQUE ADJUSTMENT * of A layer to layer B?

  I converted A black and white layer (Image = > settings = > black and white). I used the settings customized by playing with the sliders, essentially creating a Black & White 'recipe '.

  I need to apply the SAME settings/recipe to layer B.

  How?

  It is preferable to use the layer of adjustment rather than the adjustment to get hard baked in the layer. In this way, you can change the setting, save a preset, or duplicate the adjustment layer. If you have hard he cooked in the layer and does not save it as a preset, there's not much you can do.

• Access a certain property of an effect?

  Hey there

  I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I tried searching through google but without success
  in any case, I wonder how you can access a certain property of an effect applied to a layer in AE?

  I have a layer that has the effect of 'vegas' applied to him, and I want to be able to change the property ' mask/Path '. How can I access it in my code?

  Thanks for any help in advance

  a property path looks like this:

  myLayer.property (id1) .property (id2)...

  where the 'id' may be the name (string) or remove (string) or the propertyIndex (integer).

  All 3 can work, but a good rule is to take the remove when the property can't be renamed (for example the position of the layer).

  and the name or propertyIndex when it can be renamed (or duplicated, etc.).

  To know the matchNames, you can use the rd:GimmePropPath script (redefinery.com: rd: script of)

  For the property, you are after, this gives:

  myLayer.property("ADBE_Effect_Parade").property ("APC Vegas") .property ("apc vegas-0050");

  But using this way immediately without any verification more may generate errors if the layer does not have the effect of Vegas, or if you try to set an index of mask higher than the number of masks on the layer.

  If you want to check, it would be something like this:

  var myNewMaskIndex = 3;
  var myLayer = app.project.item(1).layer(1);
  var myEffect, myProperty;
  if (myNewMaskIndex<=myLayer.mask.numProperties){
      myEffect = myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").property("APC Vegas");
      if (myEffect != null){
          myProperty = myEffect.property("APC Vegas-0050");
          if (myProperty.numKeys>0){
              myProperty.setValueAtTime(myLayer.time, myNewMaskIndex);
              }
          else{
              myProperty.setValue(myNewMaskIndex);
              };
          }
      else{
          // effect wasnt applied to the layer
          };
      }
  else{
      // wrong new value
      };
  

  If you suspect that there are several effects of Vegas on the layer, then you do not use the remove for the effect, otherwise it will give you the first instance only.

• You can animate an object (of a position effect) using a mask (AE)?

  Hello

  So I'm animating a stray light (AE Lens Flare effect applied to a black layer solid base defined on screen, Flare Center) to follow the end of the line graph "grows". I did the graphic animated by making several points of mask and application of race (solid layer) and the percentage of 'End' keyframing.

  However, I realized that I I want to change the speed in the future and it would be very useful if there was a quick way to also change the position of the center of the Lens Flare without going through a ton of keyframe points. I was wondering if there was a way I could just parent the Center Flare path at the same mask (or a way to follow) and control the speed with less keyframes or anything that works. Pickwhipping "flare Center" at the end of the line "" just changes the values both horiz and green what is the percentage.

  After searching other forums/tutorials, I've not found a way yet.

  After Effects CS6

  You don't have to do it all.  Highlight the property of retouching.  All keyframes highlight.  Right click on one and use the Rove across time control.  Now when you move the beginning or ending keyframe on the timeline, between both keyframes move.  Very handy to speed up or slow down.

• MultiCam with PiP effects

  Hello everyone

  I have a project of 2 unit which is synchronized and edited on my calendar and now the customer has requested several PiP effects through the 35-minute show. To do this, through various cuts blocking two video tracks are enabled so that the pip effects can be applied. Condition that the clips are nested in order for the multicam be enabled and edited, Is it a fast and accurate way to apply the effects requested without switching back and forth between the nested sequence and its version not nested (by double-clicking on the first) and applying manually change tip?

  Thanks in advance

  I just take the multicamera sequence and paste there the sequence of source media (break down audio tracks). I turn off the visibility of all layers of the source, until the application of the motion for the picture in picture effect. The 'green' multicamera layer still gives me capacity multicamera in the program monitor, without any of the 'up' video tracks interfere. I work with this sequence multicamera in composite view of the program monitor.

• I do not understand how to import a project that I created in Final Cut Pro in After Effects

  I do not understand how to import a project that I created in Final Cut Pro that has many sound effects in After Effects. When sharing, choose Apple Pro Res 422, resolution 1920 x 1080, select other - After Effects, it comes as a layer in AE. I don't see how I can change this and do not know, I'm doing this right. Can someone help me please. Thank you very much.

  You can use the file--> menu to import and use the Pro import, but of course there are limits. They are just completely different programs of two separate companies.

• Glisten during a support race to reveal a layer, any solution to this?

  I use the edge effect to reveal a pdf layer. After that I drew my masks and keyframe on the layer to revel, it wobbles before keyframes. So, if I put show to start at 0:05, the ends of all the masks start to blink and begins to reveal the layer but then jump back before 0:05. Then, after the beginning of the revelation, everything is normal. I check my keyframes interpolation and it's all linear. Also if I change all my KeyFrames and according to hold keyframes there isn't a difference. Everyone knows about this problem? Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  Do you use the continuous rasterization on PDF? If so, this could well explain it...

• How can I add more light to my layer?

  When I duplicate the layer two or three times, one above the other (using alpha images) the image looks better and brighter, especially when the alpha png have lines (for example, in a picture of the solar system, the orbits les orbites looks much better if I duplicate images), but is it possible, maybe an effect, to practically duplicate the layer without having to actually duplicate it? I'm doing to save rendering time, but also, it really affects render time, with three layers, as for example, on the same record, duplicate?

  Adjustable brightness levels or curves, for example. See this tutorial beginner on how to use the curves effect:
